Pros: Good battery life, Lightweight
Cons: Lack of bass, connection problems, uncomfortable, poor controls, and more!
The BackBeats look good enough, the battery life is good, they are lightweight, and I can wear them in bed, but honestly I cant think of much else to say that is good about them.
The stereo sound is fairly clean and clear with the bass booster off, but not dynamic at all. If you turn the bass boost on they distort badly even at very low volumes and the bass is so fake sounding its vomit inducing.
The call sound quality is OK at best, but the level is very low. I turn them all the way up and I can still barely hear the person on the other end. I guess if theres anything good here, I havent had any complaints from the other end. But I cant hear!!!
I cant holster my phone in my belt holster. They absolutely will NOT maintain anything close to a constant signal. Not even if I put the phone on my left side where it is more in line with the antenna on the BackBeat. The right side eliminates the connection completely. The phone literally has to be right next to my left ear. Even if Im in bed they cut out if the phone is in front of me, like for watching movies. Lame!
Ive tried every adjustment I can think of and can not get them comfortable. And if I do find a "good" spot they wont stay that way for more than about a minute.
The control setup is atrocious. What were they thinking putting the track skip and volume control together? Would it have been that hard to put a volume control on the left ear? If youre running or whatever its almost impossible to change tracks without stopping.
Did I mention they have no fidelity at all???
Yes Im disappointed. I should give it one star, but Im going with two just because of the good battery life. But I hope I run them through the washer too, very soon, so I have an excuse to replace them!
Good and Bad

Pros: Music sounds good, not to tight in ear
Cons: incoming call quality very warbly
They were comfortable. These were not like earbuds that you hear yourself walking and the cables are microphonic. Fit nice and snug, but still allowed sound from the outside. If only the incoming call quality was better, I would be very happy with these.
